How the Atlanta CityPASS Can Save You Lots of Money
Atlanta attractions can get pricey fast — but the Atlanta CityPASS takes the stress out of planning and saves you a surprising amount of money. If you’re visiting the city soon, this little ticket bundle might be your new best friend.
As an Atlanta local who never likes paying full price for fun, I’ve used the Atlanta CityPASS myself and can confirm it’s one of the easiest ways to save big while seeing the city’s top attractions.
Here’s exactly how the Atlanta CityPASS works and how it can help you keep more money in your travel budget.
What is Atlanta CityPASS?
Atlanta CityPASS lets you see five of Atlanta’s top attractions at a heavily discounted cost. It’s one of the best budget-friendly ways to see Atlanta!
This pass includes admission to 5 attractions of your choice from the following:
- Georgia Aquarium
- World of Coca-Cola
- Zoo Atlanta
- Fernbank Natural History Museum
- College Football Hall of Fame
- and National Center for Civil and Human Rights
The pass has something for everyone: animals lovers, history buffs, sports fanatics, and science geeks alike.
You get all of this for the super low price of $99+tax for adults and $79+tax for children. Believe me, it is well worth the price!
And it’s really easy to use the pass during just a weekend in Atlanta. Check out my itinerary for spending a weekend with the Atlanta CityPASS here.

How Much Money You’ll Save Using Atlanta CityPASS
The best benefit of using the Atlanta CityPASS is how much money you’ll save rather than buying each ticket separately.
Here is just a quick breakdown of how much each attraction costs for an adult ticket without the pass:
- Georgia Aquarium – $67.99
- College Football Hall of Fame – $36.22
- Zoo Atlanta – $34.95
- Fernbank Museum of Natural History – $30.95
- World of Coca-Cola – $26.00
- National Center for Civil and Human Rights – $26.00
Of course, your total savings will depend on which combination of attractions you choose to visit. But if you visited Georgia Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, Zoo Atlanta, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, and World of Coca-Cola (this would be the most expensive combination), your total for purchasing tickets separately would be $196.11.
With the Atlanta CityPASS, you only pay $99+tax. You would be saving more than $97 on Atlanta’s top attractions.
And that is definitely worth it!
